Zend.com has a new product that they are releasing this morning - the Zend SafeGuard Suite, an electronic licensing solution for your PHP scripts.
The Zend SafeGuard Suite enables the protection and mass distribution of commercial PHP applications. Ensuring extra protection against reverse engineering and providing robust licensing technology, the Zend SafeGuard Suite provides software vendors the ability to safely distribute and manage the use of PHP applications.
It's an interesting concept, but I'm just not sure that there's that much demand in the PHP market for scripts that have licensing on them. Sure it's a better idea for the person providing the scripts to the customers, but I just cant see how this software could do much more than frustrate the average user....
